Well Worth Watching

If I am at a sporting event at night most of the time just after that game I come home and write my blog and I will hit publish so it will appear as soon as possible.  This blog I wrote about 9pm last night but did  not publish it until early this morning. Sunday night right after the Masters I wrote that Monday article at 9pm.  I spoke about being part of Arnie's Army.  10pm Sunday night the Golf Channel ran the hour special of a three hour documentary about Arnie.  I have to say it is well worth trying to record all three as it was in just the first hour one of the best features I have ever seen on any body. I know any thing positive about a hero is on you will like it a lot better than one that has criticism of them.

I am sure that after winning the Masters on Sunday that Bubba Watson had interviews well past 10pm  Sunday night.  Augusta Georgia is not the Capitol of eating establishments.  I know in New York City  the world is just waking up at ten at night. By ten Augusta is beginning to roll up the streets.  So where does Bubba go out to dinner to celebrate his second Masters?  The Waffle House.  Can you see Phil or Tiger going to a Waffle House.  Really helps with the image of being a good old boy.

Monday the summer Olympic world heard the news that Michael Phelps is coming out of retirement and will try two win more swimming metals in his already record holdings of Olympic Metals.  You know I would suspect money has a lot to do with his return.  The world can be rough on people who only know how to swim.  To me Michael Phelps  and Tiger Woods are a lot a like.   Both think they can lay off for periods of time and be just as good as before when events they  show up to perform.  The more time you take off the harder is each time to reach the level you once were.

The Rocky Mount Gryphons baseball team has three games lined up this week and these three might be the  toughest three all season.  Monday night at Fleming Stadium  the Gryphons played  Pinecrest of 4-A and after five innings the Gryphons were holding their own trailing 3-1.  This teams doesn't have enough pitching depth to play three rather good 4-A schools in three straight days.  The sixth and seventh the Gryphons gave up seven runs losing 10-1.  Tonight they play SouthWest Guilford.  Going in to last night games SWG was 7-7 on the season.   This game could be the best chance they have all week.
